Landowner Emily Johnson looks at a brush pile after firefighters finished spraying Class-A foam on the smoldering debris left over from a fire on October 24, 2010.

And I was shooting boys AND girls, who were playing on two intermingling courses at the OSU university club.

Ashely Meyer, of German Village, digs around in her purse for change to feed the meter along Spring street before heading to Barrio Tapas Lounge on October 19, 2010. “I didn’t find any so I hope I don’t get a ticket,” said Meyer. “I’m meeting some friends I haven’t seen in, like, three months, so I guess it’s worth it.”
